It was funny listening to the 610 girls this morning. They make excuses for the Royals and the flaws like they're on the payroll. "It's too early to panic"... Yep, just like every year, it's too early to panic... We're not the Yankees, the bats may get better, but they'll never get to what they need to be in the AL.
At a minimum it's time to part ways with Billy. Unlike the others, he's a one-dimensional player (by definition), and he's not what he needs to be in that one dimension. Perhaps]s watching him be sent away will be good for him (start fresh somewhere else and get over his ego in the process), and the other players realize they have to produce.
And yes, the number of HRs NOT hit by this team matters. I don't care what the date is, just compare it to other competitive clubs. It's a number that's way out of whack, and you can't just deny it.
